Cancer Chemotherapy: Basic Science to the Clinic

This textbook is a clear and accessible introduction to the
scientific and clinical aspects of the creation, development and
administration of drugs or drug regimens used in the treatment of
cancer. Unique in its approach, this book enables the student to
gain an understanding of the pathological, physiological and
molecular processes governing malignancy, whilst also introducing
the role of health professionals and scientists in the research and
treatment of cancer. The book consolidates all the essential
information necessary for a full understanding of cancer
chemotherapy, providing an informative, inexpensive and up-to-date
coverage of the subject aimed at an undergraduate level readership.

Examines key pharmacological and pharmaceutical issues such as
dosing, toxicity and preparation of anti-cancer drugs.

Includes a key chapter of practice essay questions to ease
revision.

Comprehensive coverage of drugs currently in pre-clinical and
clinical development.

An indispensable text for undergraduate students studying
pharmacy and medicine as well as those doing courses such as
molecular biology, biomedical sciences and pharmacology which cover
aspects of oncology.

"True to the title, the strength of the book is the discussion of
chemotherapies themselves. The classical anticancer drugs are well
dealt with in Chapter 8 with good background information and plenty
of chemical structures and figures explaining mechanisms".
